I am still within the 30 days return window of Three, now trying to understand if 5G is better than my Virgin 100M line (the main reason to switch is the extremely disappointing treatment that Virgin gives to existing customers).
Which external router outperforms the 5G CPE Pro?
Interestingly 4G / upload works better if I move the router inside the room, but then 5G / download goes down by 50%.
Maybe if I get the Huawei external antenna, I could place the router in the best position for 4G, while still having a strong 5G using the external antenna.
I forgot to add that, as a geek, I am quite impressed by the stability and speed of 5G. I appreciate that it is only the early stage of this technology (plus my area is poorly covered and Three has various issues), but it is really encouraging to have an alternative to Virgin, in those areas not covered by faster operators (e.g. Hyperopic).
I was expecting a poor experience with video calls, VoIP and remote desktop sessions, but they all worked without any flaw.
